hi guys, so im new to target, ive been there for about a month. I wanted to know if it was possible to not request the day off but request the time that I work that day. Im attending a concert at night so can I just ask for the morning shift or is there a longer process I have to go through??
Some stores don't do that. Whenever I would try and do a partial time off request they just mark the whole day off.Just do a partial time off request. Rather than requesting off the whole day, specify the time you need off (in your case, the evening). That way, they can schedule you in the morning if your availability allows.
It's harder with Flow, either you call the night before or you try to wake up to make the call. It's quite easy to oversleep your whole shift if you're careless.Maybe this has already answered, but why would anyone have a NCNS? I mean like, a NCNS is super easy to avoid, right? I read through the first few pages about people having multiple ones. Why wouldn't you call out?
You are right clerical caught up with me and explained things. You would think i would learn to not be so paranoid :/ i hate the anxiety this place sparks in me -_-()@aronoiiel, if the swap shift was approved & signed off by old or etl, you should be ok. For spot terming folks for a single NCNS, there has to be other things happening in those folks. Like CA, then final, etc.
Well now that was embarrassing lol my apologies for making you read that mess -_-() Im gonna go back to lurkdom and pretend that mess never came from my fingers lol. Thanks for the reassurrance its much appreciatedYou will be ok. You might want to use spell check.

So I have worked at target since 4/20 of this year...
The beginning of last month, I had to reduce my work schedule for school, so i only work closing friday-sunday. Unfortunately, last month, I had a family emergency that I had to go back home to (out of state) that I called in 2 days for, I was sick with the flu about two weeks after that, and then this Sunday I got into a car accident. In total I only have 6 call outs, but 4 of them were in the last month.
I'm just worried about getting fired, because even though I only work very part time, I need the money and I actually like the people I work with.
Do you think I will get fired?
Salefloor TM showed up 3 hours late for his shift (said he overslept) and wanted to leave 2 hours early because he had a headache.
Nope. He was 8-230. Strolled in at 11 wanted to leave at 1230.Was he working a 5-hour shift?
Yeah, I did. As soon as I noticed it, I told HR which was a couple days before the actual shift. Unfortunately HR is pretty hard to actually be able to track down which is why it was a couple days and not any more. Hell, the day I told them I only saw HR for a couple minutes before she essentially left because she was called on a walkie, I wasn't told anything other than "oh yeah I tried to fix it (your availability) for you but it wouldn't let me." I wasn't even told that earlier so I could try and change it myself online since I assumed everything was fine since I wasn't told anything either about it and the last few weeks were fine. On phone it's pretty much even worse to get a hold of them too. I did call and luckily I was taken off for the day, but hopefully this time my availability is actually on the system now and it won't happen again.As soon as the newest schedule is posted, check your shifts.
If you find any that are outside your availability, notify HR ASAP. That's YOUR responsibility.
The sooner you tell them, the sooner they can find someone else or swap yours.
Waiting to the last minute to call or assuming it's been taken care of won't get you much sympathy even if it's THEIR fault.
Max & MyTime were supposed to be fool-proof but all that happened was they came up with a better fool.
